Foodie Friday: Taco Soup , Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup

With all of this flu and freezing cold weather mess all I've been craving is a huge bowl of piping hot soup with some warm French bread mmmmm. As soon I get out of this mini hotel kitchen and home to my favorite part of the house I will most definitely be throwing a pot of soup together. Here are a few of my favorite soup recipes . They are both beyond easy and the taco soup is even low cal (but doesn't taste it at all)!
